Lifo In tho suprome Cours.

Tho members Of the Supreme Court
OF the United States. with their imme
date relatives, are like q great family
They are companions for life, in tn,
nature OF the case, and they have al
ways recognized this fact in their so
cial relations. They are all on init
mate terms; they'share mutual sorrow
and joys; they know each others
homes almost rs well as their own
they all take kindly interest in the
puplic and private affairs OF each 9th
er, and they all conspire to maintain
the dignities and the traditions o.
their little circle. When the son OF Mr.
Justice Strong, OF the Supreme Court
was married by the son of Mr.. Justice
Harlan, OF the Supreme Court, the
grandson OF Justice Grier OF the SUI
preme court being the best man, the
members of the supreme court anG
their families were all present Except
Justice Woods, who is ill) to bless the
marriage and kiss the bride. And sc
another addition was welcomed &c
the supreme court family. Justice
Gray interests them all very much,
just as he interests everybody, because
he still remains bachelor. Chief JUS
tioe White has a wife and daughi Ell
and several sons, and all the Other
members of the court are equally fort
innate in being married, although two
OF them have no children. But Justice
Gray spersistently and exasperatingly
singe-a regular rosy-cheeked, happy
faced, big, stout bachelor He is a
very large-the largest man who
walks on Pennsylvania avenue. He
stoops under most doorways. But
he keeps up his exercise, both mental
and physical, so vigorously that he
looks thinner and trimmer than he is.
He is terrible worker-he will work
all day at the capitol and work al
night in his wellequipped library, and
then begin the next days work with
n zest which none but the perfectly
healthy man can know. He goes
out very little outside OF the family
reunions, so to speak, OF the Supreme
Court. He never stays long anywhere
except at q Supreme Court house.
He dashes in. says something light and
sweet, and dashes out again. lie is
apt to be trihe diflident with young
women. He knows he is a bachelor.
He insists, too, that he proposes to
continue one, and stoutly denies all
those stories about his being enga" "d.
He is welded, he says, to his ambi.
ton. We shall see. In the old days,
the members OF the Supreme Court
dined almost constantly together.
Now they do so once n month. They
began at Justice Fields. This was
the first formal introduction OF Mrs.
Matthews, the second wife OF Mr.. JUS
tice Stanley Matthews, to the SUI
preme Court family. The fact that
she is a bride will make her the guest
OF honor at all the dinners the Su-
preme Court family gives this winter
except that which she will give when
her turn comes.

Removed to his Home from the

Henry Weichman, aged As, OF Red
Lion, York county, Pa, died suddenly

How Congressman Browne, OF
Virginia, Was Elected.
From the Baltimore Herald.

| From the Baltimore Herald.
Congressman-elect Browne, OF the
Ninth Virginia District, will probably
be recognized as the best poker player
in congress when he goes to Washing
ton. He has the reputation OF having
a more profound knowledge of the
science OF the game and having raked
in more big pots than any other man
in the state. He comes from the
mountainous Southwestern portion
OF the State. where poker is cultivated
as assiduously as the meager crops
and where a knowledge OF the game
is regarded as necessary part OF
every mans education.
His election to Congress was due in
great measure to his poker reputa-
ton.
In every place Browne Went to he
was cheered almost as much by Dem.
ocrats rs Republicans, and he fire.
quently gave practical demonstrations
to the voters that his reputation was
honestly earned. Election day came
around, and it was evident that Henry
stock was away down; and the result
proved this to be the case as Browne
was elected by several thousand ma
iority, gaining about 1000 Democrat
ic voters. Mr.. Brownies only equal
in buiiing is Gaines, OF Petersburg.
| These two met once and tried their
weapons. After making the pot several
hundred dollars they showed up,
Gaines having pair OF deuces and
Browne a pair OF tours.
Mr.. Browne plays by rules and is a
real scientist in his own way. A few
OF these rules were given to al
admiring Constituent last Fall, and
here are some extracts:
|. Never bet on the first hand unless
you have three o. q kind or better.
2. II you have u pair and an ace,
hold on to the ace in the discard.
3. Never draw to kings.
4. If there are more than two men
in jack pot, never have any conf
dence in anything but full hand or
better.
5. Never draw to middle straight.
9. Never draw to a straight flush.
7. Never break pair under any
circumstances.
8. your oppon, mt, after looking
at his cards, drops them carelessly
and folds his arms, keep out.
8. Never take your eyes irony our
opponents tace during the betting
not even when picking up your chips.
10. Never allow a pot to be taken
in without a call.
Some players may doubt the ex-
pediency OF some of these rules, but
they certainly stood Mr.. Browne in
good stead during Eis scientific career.

Counting In Bank Notes.

The bank note has any number OF
enemies. These conspire to shorten
it's average life OF three years some
times to less than as many weeks
Bad habits are fatal to it. II it starts
out on tour of the drinking places
and falls into low company the chances
are n dozen to one that it will turn
up at the redemption agency in d few
days, IL ragged and disreputable vaga-
bond, TO be chewed up and made into
papermache frogs, turtles, etc, for
paper. weights. The bloody fingers OF
q butcher and dirty pockets into
which the bills are stuffed wadded up
in every way, arenoL especially friend.
ly TO the life OF the bill, and fire and
water claim many OF them for their
victims in year.
The charred and blackened remains
Of many thousand notes appear at
the treasury department every month.
They come in singly, in hali.dozens,
and sometimes in great packages,
charred through and through. All the
burned bills 20 into the hands OF one
lady in the comptroller's Office, whose
duty it is to identify them before they
can be redeemed. Ii the notes are
stuck together in crisp, black mass,
she first separates them, one at u
time, with knife made with the thin
nest possible blade for the purpose.
The remains of each note is then laid
upon glass slab and very closely
scrutinized through magnifying-
glass. The lady is familiar with the
minute peculiarities OF the issue OF
notes by the various banks and it
rarely occurs that some clew to the
identity OF the note is not discovered.
Notes which are mutilated go to
the redemption agency, which owes
its origin to Gen Spinner Here
about 100, 000,0 900 notes on an aver
age ale handled five times each in a
year, the largest numbers coming i'll
January and June. An expert can
handle about ten thousand notes in a
day. When the notes are received
they have TO be counted in" The
"counter-in" must 90 over them twice,
and ii any mistake is made or any
counterfeit passed the loss is deduct
ed from the salary OF the one making
the error. The counter Is handed a
bunch OF from 5000 to 10000 notes,
Tor which a receipt is given, and ii,
when they are counted back" the
two counts agree, credit is given for
them. Each package bears the name
of the counter and the amount which
it contains.
When the notes are thus counted
they 90 to the "sorters," where those
in good condition are separated from
those that are badly deapidated.
Next they are arranged according to
denomination and then distributed
into banks OF issue After this they
are grouped into denominations, the
head OF the bank putting them out,
and are finally counted out" The
"counter-out" must handle the notes
three time. The responsibility OF the
"counter-in" is much greater than
that OF the counter out" The
"counter-in" must bear in mind con-
stantly the name o: every bank whose
notes have been counterfeited. The
greater part of the work in this de-
partment is done by women, and the
fegree OF EXPERIENCES displayed is little
short OF marvellous.

without a general advertising law,

The following article, taken from

paper, is sample Of Republican
literature:
President Cleyeland's annual
message was delivered to Congress
last Tuesday morning. Compared
with all his other messag es, it was
very short, containing less thar
1000 words. The reason of this
breyity was because he was too COW
ardly or too ignorant, one or tn,
other, and we leave it to our read
ers to judge for themselves, to Elk
press an opinion upon but on
subject, and that is the tariff.
